These are Task forces and work groups for WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state). The Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and discussion for topics that have a sufficiently large scope. The advantages of establishing a new group as a task force or work group within an existing project are that generally, task forces required for the new ire fewer members to be effective and do not have the same degree of required project maintenance, as much of that is taken on by the parent project.

Current work groups

Proposing a Work Group or Task Force

edit

If you would like to set up a new group specifically to function as a task force of this project, please list it in the Proposed Projects section above as this area is used to gauge support for potential task forces. Please write a brief description (including links to the related Wikipedia articles), and add it along with your name to the list below (in alphabetical order by topic). Some boilerplate you can use:

==== Name of work group====
; Description : [description here]

; Interested Wikipedians (please add your name)
# [your name here]

; Comments

If your proposal gains support from 5-10 active Wikipedians, it could probably benefit the WikiProject as a Task Force or Work Group. If you want to start a page before you have 5-10 active Wikipedians, consider setting up the page on a subpage of your user page until it is active, while leaving the posting here with a link to the user page.

Archived work group proposals

In the event a given proposal does not receive sufficient support within 4 months of posting here to create a task force, it should be moved to this listing.
